| Now this is where there was a flurry of work to bring everything
together. A cool violet on the right side adds light behind the head.
The contour of the ear is defined by an olive line. However the hair
and edge of the head is a dark soft purple so that it dissolves into
the light. The space behind the top of the head moves from dark at
the right to a slightly lighter value on the left. This shift in color
gives a believable depth to the head. Your eye tells you that the
head has volume, from front to rear. Bringing in the pale colors and
cooling down the reds submerges the volume of the head in an overcast
dim light. There is the contrast of the cool high lights of pale blue
and warm pink to a soft dim light. |
